Analysis of successful modes for the implementation and use of open course ware (OCW) & open educational resources (OER) in higher education. The virtual mobility case

Edmundo Tovar Caro, Igor Lesko

Abstract

This paper presents results from research on the use of OCW and OER in Higher Education (HE). The research was carried out with leaders of OCW/OER initiatives at HE Institutions and Organizations around the world. The aim was to identify successful practices for implementation and use of OCW/OER in HE and to investigate how OCW/OER could facilitate student virtual mobility. This work has been planned as part of the project “OpenCourseWare (OCW) in the European HE context” carried out with the support of the Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Union. The focus of the project is the creation of preconditions for a strong European/OCW framework and, as a consequence, a decline of obstacles to cooperation between European institutes, and therefore an increase in real student mobility.

From elite to mass to universal higher education: from distance to open education

Larry Cooperman

Abstract

In 1970, Martin Trow, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, identified a transition “underway in every advanced society – from elite to mass higher education and subsequently to universal access.” This paper adapts this framework of the historical and structural development of higher education as a phased process in which absolute and relative growth of university enrollment transforms the institutions of higher education and alters its functions. The transition to universal access may support economic development, social mobility and greater income equality, in turn buttressing even the institution of democracy. Arriving at those optimal social outcomes isn’t automatic, however, because of a variety of remaining issues: how universality of higher education translates to economic growth and social equality. The problem of the “next 1%,” shorthand for the continued entrance of new social layers into higher education, presents novel challenges that “access” alone may not solve.
